Dear Friends of Rippey persons,
Rippey will be celebrating its 150th birthday in 2020.
I am calling all Friends of Rippey together on Sunday evening July 7, at 6:30 at the Rippey Community Room, as we further plan for this celebration.
Please consider this your invitation to attend.
We will be getting specific with the approval of dates for the event, as there is now a conflict for the previously suggested June date. Currently suggested date is July 31, August 1, 2020.
Also hoping there will be specific assignments for leaders to coordinate the following:
Financial solicitations
Parade
Baseball game Mel Murken lead
Car Show
Band Concert
Street Dance
Meal
Fireworks
Publicity
To date, $2800 has been raised for this effort.
If you want to contribute, send checks to:
Friends of Rippey
PO Box 52
Rippey, Iowa

First Fundraiser for the Sesquicentennial will be a meal and a concert by the Town and Country Band in August.
Date to be determined this week, but probably August 10.
